Celebrating ten years of beautifully prepared and elegantly served Italian cuisine in the historic West End of Pearl Street, Boulder, Bacaro Venetian Taverna has traversed a long path, picking up many admirers along the way. Diners can opt to eat inside in the warm and welcoming atmosphere or in the pretty al fresco area outside, but wherever you choose to sit, it is the food that makes it so special.

Amongst the antipasti, you could try the vitello tonnato, thinly sliced veal with mixed greens, shaved red onions, tomatoes, tuna and caper sauce, following it up with some of the delicious pastas and risottos. The rigatoni con agnello, with shredded lamb ragu, asparagus and fresh mozzarella is indeed a tantalising option while desserts include a luscious chocolate souffle with vanilla gelato. The sophisticated and comprehensive drinks list features wines from Italy, California, Spain and Portugal, suited for every taste and pocket.
